The Franciscan Kitchen needs more volunteers, committee members, and your financial assistance to help us continue to expand our ministry outreach.

The Franciscan Kitchen, which has faithfully served lunch to the city’s homeless and hungry since 1980, needs a helping hand.

The soup kitchen, located at 748 S. Preston Street, feeds 500 or more people on weekdays, plus select Saturdays.Now its volunteers and staff members want to expand the ministry to serve lunch every Saturday.

In order to do that, said executive director Chuck Mattingly, the kitchen needs more volunteers and some financial assistance.
